Commander has grown from a fringe format to the most popular way to play Magic: the Gathering. Today we look at the best card from every year of the game for the format!

why was chrome mox not mentoned in 2003. Chrome mox is insane in every format tbh
2009 should have 110% been oracle of mull daya. That card is very good and reliquary tower is super super overrated
Commander really emphasizes the benefits and downsides of each color. Yeah, white's underpowered for a number of reasons, and a lot of players knew why, but other people had other theories. Commander gives Wizards insight into what a color needs in order for balance.
Good video! I will say tho I would have picked ancient tomb over reanimate.
A really sleek ad read, well done
Although I'm not the biggest fan of wizards pushing all these new products in recent years, their effort on making commander a better format is really appreciated.
playing my friends Xenagos deck got me into magic in general so you definitely picked correctly
Eternal Witness came from Fifth Dawn, not Darksteel.
God…. I can’t stand the way he talks. Seelvan Library…. God…
* ewit from fifth dawn 9:54
If Sol ring wasn’t reprinted id guess itd be up there with cradles or hogher
Eternal witness over Skullclamp?!
Let me feed the algorithm and say, I do NOT agree, sir.
Bruh you forgot Ambush viper, a key card for my budget kaseto snake tribal edh
Mana drain better than sylvan library
All my decks include white and I have Esper Sentinel in each one, but dam near every player pays the 1. It only affects the first non creature spell so it really ain’t that good. It’s white and it says draw a card, so it goes in the deck. Like Rhystic Study, players will pay the 1. Smothering Tithe is different. 2 mana is harder to pay than 1
The best joke from this video is gamble 😅
Why do you sound like mr derp?
Definitely some hot takes in this episode. But fun list either way
It's actually kind of amazing– 20+ cards from 1993 see massive play in commander.
Swords to Plowshares, Wrath of God; Counterspell
Demonic Tutor, Dark Ritual; Lightning Bolt
Llanowar Elves, Birds of Paradise, Wild Growth
Sol Ring, Mana Vault; City of Brass, the dual lands
Timetwister and Wheel of Fortune, if you count those as well.
I still hate phyrexian arena. Usually is a three mana do nothing dead card in your hand most the time later in the game or draws you around 2 cards because you didnt get jt early enough which made it a clreally bad sign in blood. I avoid the card at all costs and never even consider it remotely good.
Very nice and pretty good list. Only one I'd switch is force of will with the tutor cycle. I see those considerably more as force still costs so much it doesn't make it down to more casual tables.
Not Picking Command Tower for 2011 is a bold choice. It's pretty much the best card in the format other than sol ring.
xenagos does not give trample
I miss the times when EDH was not that much commercial, old, forgotten and normally useless cards were giving tons of fun. Also during that time you didn't have to sell your organs to the black market to afford a fun, well rounded deck.
"Wizards vowed to fix the white problem."
-seth 2023.
Xenagos sadly does not provide trample, but I love me some Theros Gods!
I find Xenagos to be a funny card to discuss mostly due to the fact that everyone misreads him once or twice
For 1 he does not give trample, only haste the confusion makes sense as with a green creature giving a huge boost would make sense to give trample.
But what I think is the most common mistake I see is I have come across so many people who forget xenagos CANNOT target himself.
thank you for the video – I learned a lot!
Love the Nitpicking Nerds love at 22:28
Xenagos don't give trample, it will be more bonkers than it already is
